Retaking the written exam, summarized for you by state
Short, sourced guides to retaking the cosmetology written (theory) exam: how soon you can retest, what it costs, how many tries you get, and how to book. Every rule links to the state board, the law or the test guide it came from.
Why we’re starting with the PSI states
Lisensa starts with the ten states that use PSI’s national cosmetology exam. Seven use it for both the theory and practical tests: Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan and Tennessee. California, Hawaii and Massachusetts use it for the theory test only. (PSI national program)
Kentucky is up first because it’s our home base. The others are coming soon.
